By the way this year Draymond has been pretty subdued, doesn't argue much after getting called for fouls, very few techs.

Pitiful showing by the Mavericks

The Mavericks are pretty meh though. One superstar and a bunch of whatever.
What's funny is that Luka was the best player on the floor... dude is simply unguardable one-on-one.

Yet, the Celtics still ran Dallas off the floor.

Now, part of that is because Boston is really good... but the other part is that the Maverick roster outside of Doncic is Lakers bad.

Was checking highlights and saw this. Reaction was 1) Whoa. Kevin Knox is still in the league and 2)He's actually playing well !?!?

Add this to the list of why this season so far has been nuts

Last few games. It's been interesting.

Pistons winning without 3 starters.

The addition of Wood hasn't been enough

Not even close to enough.

Aside from Luka, there are precisely zero players on that roster who can generate consistent offense.

Doncic might very well be the best player in the world, though. I can't think of anybody else in the NBA that makes offense looks as easy as he does.

They play a pretty tight rotation as well. So if none of the other guys are feeling it it all falls on Luka.

That Hardaway contract is a bad one.

Maybe but they need him or Dinwiddie to offset the loss of Brunson.....

Luka can't do it by himself.

Dinwiddie has been decent enough but Hardaway is a mess. Shooting 31 percent on the year.

Sure but he is coming off an injury and is a career 42% and 36% shooter....he will regain his shooting form.

If he shoots his current numbers for a full season I would agree he is washed.

They didn’t give up much for Wood and he is averaging 17 and 8 on 58% shooting and 45% from 3. Wood isn’t the issue and the Lakers roster is much worse but they just have a bunch of role players that are defensive-minded. They need to play out of their mind to make an impact offensively and vault the team higher like last year and Dorian Finney Smith. Luka needs more help especially losing Brunson for nothing. Dinwiddie is just not that good and he is their 3rd best player

Natalia Bryant is seeking a restraining order for a 32yo guy who has been stalking her. Per TMZ.

SMH.
His life is forfeit as soon as his picture gets released.

Hard to take too much away from this game with the Clippers missing their 2 best players, but Kerr has been trying to fix the bench by rotating starters in with the bench guys so there's always some top level guys out there. So last rotation was Draymond & Wiggins with 3 bench guys. At the end of the 3rd quarter it was Curry and Looney out there with them. It's working tonight, 30 bench points and counting plus they haven't been shitty defensively.
George maybe.

Kawhi being out is the status quo.
